Women that inspire at the DIA

I have always admired a 1932 photograph that captures Frida Kahlo at the DIA painting her famous Self-portrait on the Borderline between Mexico and the United States, 1932. In the photo, standing behind her, there is the large figure of her husband, Diego, watching her creative work. The image offers, in my view, symbolic contrasts.
